Why is it zero on ’08–09?

So on top of what we’re paying off now, there is still some additional debt, and you’re hoping to get a fair portion of that back through collecting the receivables that the authorities have outstanding.

The authorities do have receivables from way back still outstanding. Does that $12 million include last year’s receivables, or is it also the accumulated receivables? I know, for instance, as one of my colleagues mentioned earlier, BeauDel, as an example, has invoices that are outstanding for years — not just one year but many, many years, which is a lot of money outstanding — that they should...

I look forward to sitting down with the Minister to talk about a tiered vehicle registration system.

I guess the one question I need to know before we move any further forward on that is: what is the timeline on implementing the new registration system for vehicles? Is it something that’s going to happen in the next two, three, six months, or is it something scheduled for a year or two down the road?

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’m going to ask my questions specific to Stanton, but they’d be true for all the authorities. I see the $11.5 million that you’re asking for, for Stanton. Does that bring them to a zero balance as far as debt is concerned, or are they still further in debt than the $11.5 million?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are for the Minister responsible for Transportation. I understand the Department of Transportation is currently putting through a new vehicle registration system. I’m curious: is that new system capable of facilitating a tiered vehicle registration rate system?
